Dorm Life

My room was on the corner of the building, so I had a little more room than most. The floors are kind of gross (I think they're linoleum), so get a large rug. You have two dressers and two cabinets behind a large mirror, and a closet on either side.

Food and Dining

The food is great, but unless you're an athlete, you REALLY need to watch what you eat. This is an "athletic" college, so they really cater to the athletes, who need to eat more. The chicken is kind of bland, but the Philly cheesesteaks are awesome. They also take recommendations (even took one of mine!) for future meals. The staff are awesome. Don't get the fish, though.

Academic Rigor

If you are a science or nursing major, you will have little to no social life. The classes (especially chemistry) are intense. Find a study group; you'll need it.

In three sentences

I loved my time here. I was one of a few men attending (a few live on campus, most are commuters), and it didn't take long for anyone to remember who I was. The dorms and food are great, the other students and faculty are great people, and the campus is beautiful. If you can get a scholarship or two (It is expensive), I would seriously recommend coming here.

What to do for fun

Ursuline College is located in the suburb of Pepper Pike, Ohio, which is far enough from the city for a relaxing time, but close enough to the city for convenience of shopping and fun activities. If you do not have a car on campus, there are many on campus activities that are open to all the residents.

Food and Dining

There is an on campus dining center, called the Pilla Atrium. It offers a buffet style food plan that ensures that you will not go hungry. There are homestyle meals offered every meal, but there is a also a salad bar and grill where you can special order items.

Dorm Life

If you are accustomed to on campus nightlife, this college is not for you. The residence halls are quiet and create a respectful and academically encouraging environment. Boys are not allowed to stay over night, and if that is a problem for you, attend somewhere else. This is the only women's college in Ohio, and the safety of the residents is a priority. It is the safest place that I have ever been.

Academic Rigor

It is imperative to study and to start assignments early. Ursuline's curriculum involves many writing assignments that can be time consuming, and being a strong writer will only benefit you. If you are a weak writer, there are plenty of resources to help you with the completion of your papers.

Tips for prospective students

The most important thing to remember when attending this school is that everyone's first priority there is academics, and if you are not willing to put that first you will struggle. Luckily, it is a positive and supportive atmosphere that encourages students to actively participate in their school work.

In three sentences

Ursuline College is a small school that focuses on Values, Voice and Vision. One of the most valuable things about attending this school is its sense of community and small class sizes. Every person that attends this college is valued and respected.

Olivia from Wendell, NC

Security is constantly walking around campus and keeping an eye on everything. They are all incredibly friendly and happy to get you from one place to another if you don't want to walk alone.

Bang for the buck

Ursuline is NOT a cheap school... but is it worth it? Absolutely. I could not have asked for a better experience. Everyone I talk to is extremely helpful and kind. If you're looking for one-on-one time with professors, there is no college that is better.

What to do for fun

There's always events going on in the dorms, and many other events offered in their own little theater.

I'm an adult learner. Therefore, my social activities take place away from campus.

Academic Rigor

Scholars are challenged to exercise critical thinking and apply knowledge gained to real life.

Tips for prospective students

Take advantage of meeting with the advisors. They are very knowledgable, helpful and patient. The class sizes are perfect for adult learners participating in the UCAP program.

In three sentences

Ursuline college provides a quality education. The UCAP Program provides adult / non-traditional college students with a rigorous curriculum, experienced professors, and an accelerated schedule to attain your degree goals in an expeditious manner.

Ash

The campus is very safe I have never felt unsafe there. It is small and well lit.

Great for these types of students

Students who want one on one time with the professor and like the small class size.

What to do for fun

Beachwood mall is down the road it is a very nice mall to go shopping at. Also, Cleveland is pretty close so you can go there for a game, shopping, restaurants, museums.

Food and Dining

The food is ok there is only one dinning hall on campus. But on the other hand it is a very small school. There are a bunch of restaurants and fast food places in the area.

Dorm Life

I did not live on campus I commuted from home. I can't really give a good view on the dorms but there is only two dorm buildings.

Academic Rigor

It is a tough school but you can still get good grades. The teachers are here to help and they really want you to come to them when you are having problems. The best thing you can do is do not wait til the last minute to do things.

Tips for prospective students

If you like to learn in small class sizes Ursuline is perfect. The teachers all want you to succeed and they do everything they can to help you. Do not dismiss the school just because of its size and the fact there isn't very many guys.

In three sentences

Ursuline College is a fantastic school with a great nursing program. The students here are very kind and welcoming. The campus is beautiful and small so it is a short walk to all the buildings.

Vanessa from Willoughby, OH

This school is great for someone who likes to interact, and likes small classes sizes. It's not for the painfully shy.

What to do for fun

There are always a lot of activities provided on campus, and off for fun new things to do.

Food and Dining

The food is seriously lacking, and it's hard to get food between classes.

Dorm Life

I never lived on campus.

Academic Rigor

Most of the teachers have a lot of assignments, and expect a lot of work from you. But, they give you plenty of time, and everything is for your benefit.

Tips for prospective students

It is a pretty pricey but there are a lot of perks of private college. Also, be prepared to work hard.

In three sentences

It is a small liberal arts college. They pride themselves in pushing you to find yourself, have the skills you'll need in the real world, and want you to work hard. There is always someone to help if you need it, and they have a tight knit community.

Tips for prospective students

Don't hesitate to reach out to Ursuline Staff and/or Ursuline on Facebook when researching the 'student perspective'. Your soon-to-be fellow classmates will have alot of information and guidance to offer you.

Bang for the buck

There are always scholarships available and the financial aid staff are always willing to go above and beyond to lend assistance.

Am enjoying being here

Ursuline College is a friendly and inspirational place to be. Faculty is always willing to offer additional guidance and perspectives. It seems as if everyone on campus strives to not only succeed themselves, but lend a hand to help others.

Am learning a lot

Every course and instructor has provided premium education that can be directly related to the real world. Their method of education has allowed me to learn new things about the world and myself.

Constance from Cleveland Heights, OH

hard working, committed to getting an education, those who want personal relationships with their adviser and teachers, and who wants to see the president and deans on campus!

Tips for prospective students

Don't be worried about the price! Ursuline gives a lot in scholarship money and they are so nice about helping out with financial issues.

Bang for the buck

True, it is rather pricey, but there is a lot of support while you're in school and out of school that make it worth it. Especially if you want to be a nursing, psych, or education major, Ursuline is worth it.

Am enjoying being here

Although the small size of the campus means there isn't a lot going on, the people (staff and students) are all very nice. Plus there are other colleges, Cleveland, and Akron all nearby!

Am learning a lot

The classes are small, so the there is plenty of attention from the teacher to help you learn the material. The teachers get to know you on a personal level and even understand when athletes can't be in class because of the game schedule! Everyone is so helpful in terms of making sure you have all the opportunities to learn as much as possible.

Nicole from Chagrin Falls, OH

Students who want to focus on their studies and get a quality education while meeting a great variety of people and having tons of fun would love this school.

Tips for prospective students

1) Live on campus!!!! Living on campus is a great way to meet people and really get the full bang for your buck. 2) Research the school's available clubs (art, nursing, AIMS) and think of any you would love to add. 3) Find scholarships offered by the school. It's a great way to help pay for your books or tuition.

Bang for the buck

Ursuline is a private college and is considered far from cheap where I come from. Tuition is usually around $33,000 per year which is nowhere near pocket change for me. Yet I and most every applicant is able to afford the final cost. Ursuline works hard to make the education and experience affordable for any salary. So for this affordable price Ursuline College provides a top notch education and a great environment for learning or having fun.

Am enjoying being here

Ursuline College seems like a very quiet campus but it stresses the power of each individual voice. Everyone is able to express their opinion to change, support or create anything they want. When you are sick of studying and need a break, there are many places to go to just hang out, eat, and relax. Clubs, athletics, and anything else you could imagine are with in 10 minutes drive away if not on campus. Ursuline College has everything I need and want to not only become a great nurse but also enjoy my time liviing there. So far I have loved my time as a student here.

Am learning a lot

As a nursing student at Ursuline college, I have had a very full schedule due to the strenuous nature of studying for a successful career in the health field. Although I have heard great things about their other majors offered which range from secondary education to art history, I can only give a first hand review on the classes I have taken. So far I have studied anatomy, anatomy lab, intro seminar, chemistry 1, chemistry lab, psychology, ans sociology. I felt that the instructors were extremely knowledgeable and provided the tools needed to get a great background in their field.
